[Verse 1]
G C
I’m afraid of the space where you suffer
G C
Where you sit in the smoke and the burn
G C
I can’t handle the choke or the danger
G C
Of my own foolish, inadequate words
Am
I’ll be right outside if you need me
C
Right outside
[Chorus]
G Em
What can I bring to your fire?
C D
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
G Em
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
C D
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
G C
Can I come close now?
[Verse 2]
G C
So we left you to fight your own battle
G C
And you buried your hope with your faith
G C
’Cause you heard no song of deliverance
G C
There on the nights that followed the wake
Am
We never thought to go with you
C
Afraid to ask
[Chorus]
G Em
What can I bring to your fire?
C D
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
G Em
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
C D
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
G
Can I come close now?
[Bridge]
Em
Lay down our plans
C
Lay down the sure-fire fix
Em
Grief’s gonna stay awhile
C
There is no cure for this
G
We watch for return
D
We speak what we’ve heard
Am D
We sit together, in the burn
G Em
Oh
C D
Oh
G Em
Oh
C D
Oh
[Chorus]
G Em
What can I bring to your fire?
C D
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
G Em
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
C D
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
G
Can I come close now?
